The Science Exchange Sea Turtle Internships

The humpback whale research I participated in has been the most rewarding thing I've ever done and opened my eyes to where I want to take my career in the future. I am presenting a poster on the research at the SDSU Student Research Symposium this spring - this is a resume building experience.

This program was an amazing experience. It gave the chance to work with a vulnerable Sea turtle specie ("Golfina") and I could understand how important is to support this kind of wildlife conservation programs. I had the privilege to write a scientific paper related to nesting techniques. Even it was published on a bilingual and international magazine. It helped me to improve my CV. As a Veterinarian I want to continue my studies with this particular animal. The program also immerses you into a multicultural experience

Working with The Science Exchange and encountering my first abroad experience was life changing. I grew a fond appreciation for sea turtle conservation, Costa Rica and environmental education. Being able to immerse myself in a different culture while learning about Costa Rica culture was an amazing opportunity to grow intellectually.
